Hi guys!

In the issue of March 2014, Tennis Magazine dedicates a seven page special to the new trend of the tennis season, the champions of the 80's and 90's coming back to the Tour as coaches.

Starting from the top partnerships, Federer-Edberg and Djokovic-Becker, journalists Jean Couvercelle, Rémi Bourrières, Anne Champomier and Jean-Baptiste Baretta interviewed other coaches, players and former champions to understand what the contribution of yesterday's stars can bring to a current protagonist of the game.

Well I wouldn't be touting the partnership of Becker and Djokovic just quite yet; esp. with Becker on the shelf going under the knife and up to now Nole just winning his first tourney of the season in IW last week! Are players catching up to the top tier or are they falling back even with sophisticated training regimen? The big combo of late has to be Magnus Norman and his student Stan Wawrinka breaking into the top 10 last season, winning AO over Djokovic and Nadal, culminating into a career high #3 ranking in the world and #1 in Switzerland! Murray's broken up with Lendl and Edberg is obviously energizing Federer in his game! Who will break through next?
